Write a function that accepts two function handles f and g and returns the composition h. That is,

h = (f o g)(x) = f(g(x))

Example:

>> f = @(x)x^2;
>> g = @(x)x+1;
>> h = composeFcn(f,g);
>> h(3)
ans =
  16

because (3+1)^2 = 16.

@善翔韩, syms is a part of symbolic toolbox and toolboxes are not available on cody.
